Installation Applications

This product is designed for operation in

12 volt, negative-ground electrical systems.

Using this product in systems with positive

ground and/or voltages other than 12 volts

may result in damage to the product and

will void the warranty. This product is not

certified or approved for use in aircraft.

Safety Considerations

• Whenever possible, mount this product

in a dry, well-ventilated location that does

not interfere with other factory installed

electronic devices. If a dry environment is

not available, a location that is not exposed

to heavy splashing may be used.

• While this product is designed to be water-

resistant, it should never be submerged

under water for prolonged periods or

subjected to high-pressure water spray.

• Do not mount in an engine compartment

or in any areas of extreme heat.

• Ensure this product is securely installed so

that it does not come loose in the event of a

collision/sudden jolt or as a result of repeated

vibrations during normal operation.

• Check before drilling to make sure that you

will not be drilling into an exterior panel/

hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness,

or other vital system.

• Do not run system wiring outside or

underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an

extremely dangerous practice, which can

result in severe damage/injury.

• Protect all system wires from sharp

edges (metal, fiberglass, etc.) by carefully

routing them, tying them down and using

grommets and loom where appropriate.

• Secure all wiring as needed, using cable

ties or wire clamps to protect them from

moving parts and sharp edges.

• Do not replace the power wire fuse with one

of a different value. Never bypass the fuse.

Mounting & Installation

The design of the MBT-CRXv2 requires just

a single hole for installation. Its easy-to-

use threaded-collar mounting system can

accommodate installations in flat surfaces up

to 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) thick. A front-mounted

adaptor plate is included for installations in

panels exceeding 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) thick,

or where rear access is limited or not possible.

Refer to the diagrams below for your specific

mounting application.

Wiring Diagram

Pairing Your Device

(required for operation)

1. Ensure your streaming device has Bluetooth®

enabled and that the MBT-CRXv2 is on

(backlit in blue). The JL Audio logo on the

MBT-CRXv2 will blink to indicate it is in

pairing mode.

2. Within your streaming device’s Bluetooth®

setup menu, select “MBT-CRXv2” from the list

of pairable devices.

3. When successfully connected, the

JL Audio logo on the MBT-CRXv2 will stop

blinking and remain lit. A single beep will be

heard through the connected audio system.

Note: If optional connection is made to a head

unit’s remote turn-on output, the head unit will

turn the MBT-CRXv2 on/off and the MBT-CRXv2

power button will no longer operate.

Pairing Considerations cont’d

When a connected streaming device is out

of range for more than one minute, the

MBT-CRXv2 will automatically disconnect this

streaming device and return to pairing mode

(JL Audio logo will blink). When that same

device comes back into range, it should be

reconnected to the MBT-CRXv2 manually.

Controlling Audio Playback

Once connected, use the controls on the

MBT-CRXv2 to adjust volume up/down, track

selection and play/pause.

IP67 Water Resistance Rating

This product has been tested to withstand immersion in water,

up to 1 meter (3.28 ft.) deep, for up to 30 minutes (when prop-

erly installed). Note - while designed to be water resistant, this

product should never be submerged under water for prolonged

periods or subjected to activity that creates pressure on it that

exceeds its depth rating.

Pairing Considerations

Multiple devices can be paired to the

MBT-CRXv2, but only one streaming device

can connect at one time.

The MBT-CRXv2 will remember the last device

that was connected to it and reconnect with

it automatically. If that streaming device is not

active, then other paired streaming devices can

connect manually, or new streaming devices

can be paired.
